I. INTRODUCTION
Background
The Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian Planned Community District in the City of Newport
Beach has been developed in accordance with the Newport Beach General Plan. The purpose of
this Planned Community District is to provide a method whereby property may be classified and
developed for hospital- related uses. The specifications of this District are intended to provide
land use and development standards supportive of the proposed use while ensuring compliance
with the intent of all applicable regulatory codes.
The Planned Community District includes district regulations and a development plan for both
the upper and lower campuses of Hoag Hospital. In general, over the long term, the upper
campus will become oriented primarily towards emergency, acute and critical care
(predominantly inpatient) uses and the lower campus will be developed with predominantly
outpatient uses, residential care and support services.
Whenever the regulations contained in the Planned Community text conflict with the regulations
of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the regulations contained in the Planned Community text
shall take precedence. The Municipal Code shall regulate this development when such
regulations are not provided within these district regulations. All development within the
Planned Community boundaries shall comply with all provisions of the Uniform Building Code
and other governing building codes.

IV. DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Project Characteristics
The upper campus of Hoag Hospital is located on a triangular site of approximately 17.57 acres
and is bounded by Newport Boulevard to the east, Hospital Road to the north and existing
residential developments (the Versailles and Villa Balboa/Seafaire condominiums) to the west.
The lower campus is located north of West Coast Highway, south of the Versailles and Villa
Balboa/Seafaire Condominiums, west of Newport Boulevard and east of Superior Avenue. It
contains approximately 20.41 acres and adjoins the upper campus at its eastern boundary. The
upper campus is, and will continue to be, oriented towards inpatient functions, while the lower
campus will be developed with predominantly outpatient, residential care and support services.
Development Plan
The Planned Community Development Plan for Hoag Hospital is shown on Exhibit 1. From
1990 to 2015, many of the existing buildings shown on the Development Plan for the upper
campus may be redeveloped in order to functionally respond to the needs of the Hospital and
conform to the requirements of State agencies.
The Development Plan includes a 0.8 acre view park adjacent to the bike trail between the lower
campus and the Villa Balboa/Seafaire Condominiums. This view park includes a twenty -foot
wide linear park area adjacent to the bike path (approximately 0.5 acres) and a consolidated view
park at the westerly edge of the property (approximately 0.3 acres). A bike trail connection is
also provided between the existing bike trails at the northern and southern boundaries of the
lower campus. Access to the lower campus will be from West Coast Highway and Superior
Avenue, as well as from Hospital Road, via the upper campus. Exhibit 2 shows the internal
circulation for Hoag Hospital.
The Development Plan does not specify building locations or specific hospital related uses.
Instead, a developable area is identified based on the regulations established for this Planned
Community District. Because of the dynamic nature of the health care industry which leads to
rapid technological changes that effect how health care services are delivered, the Development
Plan for Hoag Hospital sets development caps as a function of allowable densities established by
the Newport Beach General Plan.

The statistical analysis (Table 1) provides a gummary of a potential development profile for
Hoag Hospital. In order to provide flexibility for the hospital to respond to changes in the health
care industry, while at the same time ensuring that trip generation restrictions are adhered to and
the overall development cap is not exceeded, this Development Plan allows Hoag Hospital to
adjust the development profile provided in the statistical analysis. For example, if changing
hospital needs necessitate the development of additional outpatient uses, this development would
be allowed, consistent with the Development Plan, as long as a corresponding adjustment in
square footage and trip generation for another use were to occur.
This Development Plan allows Hoag Hospital to adjust the development profile provided in the
statistical analysis (Table 1) as long as the development limit (i.e., square feet) or the trip
generation limit for the peak period (as identified in the Environmental Impact Report)
established within each phase of development is not exceeded.
Adjustments to the Development Plan may be allowed if the total square footage or trip
generation allowed in the current phase of development is exceeded, if the total development or
trip generation allowed under the Development Plan is not exceeded.

K. Internal Circulation
Prior to the issuance of a grading permit for any of the proposed Master Plan
facilities, the project sponsor shall implement a pilot program that controls usage
of the Upper and Lower Campus service roads during non - working hours. Such
controls may include requesting that the majority of vendors deliver products
(other than emergency products) during working hours (i.e. 7:00 a.m. to 8:00
p.m.), signage to restrict use of the road by Hospital employees, physicians,
patients and visitors during non - working hours, and other methods to restrict use.
The Hospital will also request that vendors not deliver (i.e. scheduled and
routine deliveries) on the weekends.
This restriction specifically applies to scheduled and routine deliveries. The
results of this program will be submitted to the City prior to the issuance of the
grading permit. If such results indicate that such controls do not significantly
impact the operations of the Hospital, and provided that requests for specified
vendor delivery times is consistent with fuhve Air Quality Management Plan
procedures, the City may require that the program be implemented as hospital
policy. If operation impacts are significant, other mitigation measures will be
investigated at that time to reduce service road impacts to the adjacent residential
units.

and reduce noise to adjoining residences from the loading dock area.
The design process for the Critical Care Surgery Addition shall include an architectural and
acoustical study to insure the inclusion of optimal acoustical screening of the loading dock area
by that addition.
Subsequent to the construction of the Critical Care Surgery Addition, an additional acoustical
study shall be conducted to assess the sound attenuation achieved by that addition. If no
significant sound attenuation is achieved, the hospital shall submit an architectural and acoustical
study assessing the feasibility and sound attenuation implications of enclosing the loading dock
area. if enclosure is determined to be physically feasible and effective in reducing noise impacts
along the service access road, enclosure shall be required. Any enclosure required pursuant to
this requirement may encroach into any required setback upon the review and approval of a
Modification as set forth in Chapter 20.81 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.

IX. SITE PLAN REVIEW.
A. Purpose
The City Council finds that development on the West Coast Highway frontage of the lower
campus of Hoag Hospital may have the potential to affect the aesthetics of the West Newport
area as viewed from surrounding arterial roadways. The effect of this section is to establish a
Site Plan Review requirement by the Planning Commission for certain individual projects which
are proposed by the hospital to differ from the setback, horizontal and vertical articulation
requirements as set forth in Section V.D.2. to insure that these projects conform with the
objectives of the General Plan and the Master Plan for Hoag Hospital.
B. Findings
The City finds, determines and declares that the establishment of Site Plan Review procedures
contained in this section promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community by
ensuring that the development of Hoag Hospital proceeds in a manner which will not result in
inadequate and poorly planned landscape areas, excessive building bulk on arterial roadways,
inappropriate placement of structures and impairment of the benefits of occupancy and use of
existing properties in the area.
C. Application
Site Plan Review approval shall be obtained prior to the issuance of a grading or building permit
for any new structure or the addition to an existing structure which does not conform to the
provisions of Section V.D.2.
D. Plans and Diagrams to be Submitted
The following plans and diagrams shall be submitted to the Planning Commission for approval
A plot plan, drawn to scale, showing the arrangement of buildings, driveways,

signs, fences and walks. The plot plan shall show the location of entrances and
exits, and the direction of traffic flow into and out of off - street parking and
loading areas, the location of each parking space and loading space, and areas for
turning and maneuvering vehicles. The plot plan shall indicate how utility and
drainage are to be provided.
